Arjun Nihalchandani, a resident of Gujarat, was on Monday arrested by the Ahmedabad police for his suspected involvement in the betting syndicate allegedly run by Shobhan Mehta alias Shobhan Kalachowkie.

Shobhan, along with Ashok Kamdar alias Ashok Royal, was arrested earlier this month for allegedly running an illegal telephone exchange for carrying out betting activities.

Nihalchandani was arrested after being detained in Ahmedabad earlier.

He is likely to be produced before court in Mumbai for remand, Inspector Aslam Momin told PTI.
